We're trying to setup 2 identical printers which are located in the same room to be shared as the same printer. &nbsp;In other words we want the server to send print jobs to the first printer available but have the user only see one and be able to install a single printer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I've seen this done in colleges and libraries but don't know how to actually do it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The setup is as follows:<br />
<br />
(2) &nbsp;HP 4050N printers, shared through a Windows 2000 print server. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So the scenario would be as follows:<br />
User installs &quot;HP4050&quot; printer and prints to it but the Server will send the actual printjob to the first available of the 2 printers assigned to the sharename &quot;HP4050&quot;.<br />
<br />
Does this make sense? &nbsp;Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

How to share 2 printers under the same name (Have the server manage this)

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
